Bang on 12:00am San Francisco time, 07:00pm Sydney time (based on the timestamp of the confirmation email. I actually remember submitting the order about 4-5 minutes earlier).

It was very nerve-wracking as I did it all from my iPhone in a supermarket, and I was on 3% of battery. There was also low signal, so I had to run out to the carpark.

With that script you can make a short film :)
 
I really feel for everyone that is still awaiting movement on your order.

If it is any consolation to you, this is my first Mac, a purchase that I've been planning on for ~ three years, and waiting for most of '12 for the product refresh.

Good thoughts, your iMacs will adorn your desks for Christmas. ;)

nope, no consolation :D

grumble grumble grumble
 
Just don't get it anymore.

I am in the group that had theres ship first, as far as this forum goes, and it is now on it's third day in Shanghai. It just doesn't seem to want to leave that place and I am getting very frustrated. If it would have left on Monday like the tracking said I would of had it this week. Not sure what the problem is. Bad weather in Shanghai? is that possible?

You got the nerve with tons of still processing:eek::mad::(
 
I promised myself that I wouldn't go all neurotic after ordering my iMac and start checking this forum to keep up with delivery dates (like I did with my iPhone and iPad). Alas, after getting my shipment notice, I headed right over here! :D I do admit though...it's kinda fun waiting with you all.

Anyway...I'm on the UPS Train with an expected 12/17 delivery. Hoping for a miracle delivery of 12/14

Here's my data point:
BTO: 27" / i7 / 8GB RAM / 1 TB Fusion / 680MX-2GB RAM

Originally Ordered 12:30am PST - Nov 30 (Originally scheduled for 12/24-31 delivery)
Destination: Glendale (Los Angeles), CA

Just curious if you are on that first UPS train. That has switched delivery dates a few times and like you said is now the 17th by end of day. If so, does your tracking still show in Shanghai for the third day now? Mine shows that it had a departure scan monday, then an export scan tuesday, and now another departure scan for today. All in Shanghai, China. WTF is that? Anybody any ideas on this one?

I have a feeling that you would have the nerve as well my friend as you would want to know what the status is as that is very unfamiliar. Most of us have had shipments and have experience tracking them. I havent seen them stay in one place for three days and scanned three times. Just searching for answers like every one else.

Dang ;/ I was hoping that my 27 would move out of Oakland tonight after landing from Anchorage at 9:30, but it looks like I won't be getting my machine tomorrow. Ah well, one more day!!!

SW/LoTR/Batman/Indy marathon coming up :p
 
iMac coming to Thailand!!! Delivery 19th

Ordered BTO 27" 3.4 GHz 3TB fusion 2GB GPU 8GBRam at about 4.00 pm Thai time ( about 8.00 am UK time) Nov 30th. Given 24-27th Dec delivery. Just got notification it's left Shanghai and on it's way to Bangkok, then it must clear customs. They expect delivery by DHL (standard) by Wed 19th at the latest, but if it clears customs it should be earlier!! Just for once Thailand is getting equal (or maybe better) treatment!!
Yippee!!!!! I've been waiting since March and my early 2008 iMac has yellowed with age and can't digest Premiere Pro any more. I'll put it out to rest next week!

Just received my email notification that my order has shipped and should be here in Melbourne, Australia, by 17 December at the latest. Sweet! :D

There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around..
That apparently the best way to get to Australia is via Amann in Jordan. Apparently it's been there since 6th December, at least the consignment has.

So Oz is out, Europe next I imagine. :)

LOL - Yes I saw the order had been to Amman, and Krakow - I did notice the very fine print that TNT re-use consignment numbers ... well at least I hope they do ;)

Yes mine is the same too. Am in New Zealand. Notified this afternoon. TNT or Apple needs to fix this ASAP!
 
Ordered 7 AM EST on the 30th. With edu discount. How long does it take to go from preparing to ship to shipped? I've been stuck at preparing to ship since 6 AM this morning.

Has finally shipped! To be delivered by 1030am this Friday. Just in time for the weekend. Woo-hoo!!!

!Rut-row! I just noticed my Apple Shipment notification email quotes a Delivery date of December 17, yet FedEx Expected delivery date shows December 14. Who should I trust? There's a huge difference between Friday and Monday. I'm happy at least it's on the way.
 
So looks like other countries are going out, any new USA "Preparing for shipment" status changes as of this morning?

Grrrr stuck on processing:eek:
